User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a pack of
Answer:	My rice cooker is quite old (35 years or so), thus has no variable "settings". It just seems to know when my rice is done, no matter what kind it is. Actually, most often I cook it on the stove: put in cold water, 1 c. rice and 2 c. water, bring to a boil, turn down to low, cook or 20 minutes or so. I check it at that point, and leave it on low if need be for awhile longer.
Question:	Which one is to make Arincinis
Answer:	I am not familiar with "purple rice" but this one is black.

Question:	gluten free

Product description

Acquerello carnaroli rice is grown using a crop rotation system. It is the only rice variety sown on the farm, thus eliminating thr possibility of inadvertent hibridization with other varieties. After the harvest, the unhulled grains of Acquerello Carnaroli are aged for one year in Colombara’s temperature controlled silos. This process renders starch, proteins and vitamins less water-soluble, improving the consistency of the grains and enabling them to absorb more cooking liquid. When cooked, the grains become larger, firmer, do not stick together and taste better. After the aging process, the rice is refined and “whitened”. For this step in the transformation prosess “the screw” (a machine invented in 1975) is still regarded the best for the job, and is by no means the most economical. In this machine, the rice spirals slowly downwards, gently rubbing grain against grain, maintaining the nutritional values which can be easily lost with other bleaching methods. At the end of the process, Acquerello rice is perfectly polished honey color.

• The best rice for preparing risotto
• Preferred by chefs all over the world

User questions & answers

Question:	fiber content
Answer:	I believe there is only one origin for Carnaroli rice unless specifically designated that the rice came from another country. This product makes a fantastic risotto. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaroli
Question:	The bag came stitched shut how do I open it
Answer:	I honestly couldn’t tell you; the longest we’ve had it around is six months or so. In a ‘sealed’ container in a cool, dry place, I'd think a year at least. You will notice that Acquerello sells ‘aged’ riso for a premium price, so I wouldn’t think it is likely to degrade after a year or so of proper storage.
Question:	How fresh is the bag you purchased? Is there a 'date packaged' mentioend
Answer:	Unopened shelf like should be up to 15 months
Question:	Is the rice vacuum packed
Answer:	2 Years minimum for ALL Acquerello rice. FYI: The company also carries the 7 Year aged special.

The history, versatility, and viability of Rice

The quantity and quality of the nutritional content of rice varies according to the variety and the industrial process that the grains undergo. The nutritional content of brown and parboiled rice is higher than white rice for example. Brown rice that is not polished, for example, has a higher carbohydrate and protein content but fewer calories which drop down to 100 for every hundred grams of rice.

The main advantage of brown rice, however, is its high fibre content which makes it essential to the correct functioning of the intestine. Parboiled rice, on the other hand, contains more mineral salts and vitamins which are preserved inside the grains of paddy rice when they are parboiled and withstand husking and other forms of processing.

Coeliac disease is a permanent intolerance to gluten which is a protein found in oats, wheat, spelt, kamut, barley and rye… However, it is not found in rice which makes it a vital food for coeliacs (as many as 600,000 according to estimates by the Italian Association of Coeliacs even if just over 100,000 have been diagnosed so far). Since if even small quantities of gluten are eaten, this can lead to serious consequences. Although several gluten-free products have been created for this type of intolerance, rice continues to be a coeliac’s best friend.

With 476 million tonnes produced worldwide in 2011, rice is the main staple food for over half of the world’s population. Rice, along with other cereal grains like wheat, barley and maize, belongs to the family of Gramineae, but differs from them in the method of cultivation which takes place in a semi-aquatic environment.The plant has an annual life cycle: sown in the spring, it reaches maturity at the beginning of autumn. In countries with a particularly favourable climate, it can be harvested twice a year. Per capita rice consumption in Italy is 5 kg/year (equal to the European average consumption), and lower than that of Spain (7 kg/year). Per capita rice consumption in Laos is 170 kg/year.

One plant is grown from a single grain of rice which, at the end of the vegetative cycle, produces a series of inflorescences or panicles (just like maize) each of which can hold up to 300 grains. Its extraordinary productivity has made it a symbol of prosperity and well-being throughout the world and the subject of fascinating tales and legends.

Rice is one of the most nutritional foods that nature has given man and is the main staple food for over half of the world’s population. A rich source of complex carbohydrates which give energy to the body when transformed into glucose, it has a low lipid level and its proteins have a high biological value (the FAO gives rice a protein value of 69 compared with 49 for wheat and 44 for maize).

The fact that it is highly digestible means that it is completely assimilated in sixty to one hundred minutes, much less than the amount of time needed to digest all the other cereal grains. Protein, vitamins, lipids, mineral salts, calories… discover what a plate of rice contains.
